About Michael

Dr. Michael Cundiff brings 45 years of clinical experience to his counseling practice in Missouri.

Background and approach

He works from a client-centered perspective that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and collaboration; together with each person he sets goals and explores strategies tailored to their concerns. His work addresses a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and many life transitions.

Sessions are typically forty-five minutes and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, with flexibility to accommodate individual preferences. Dr.

Cundiff encourages clients to proceed at their own pace and to bring questions as they arise. He aims to respond to client messages several times daily and to work with each person to determine the session structure and therapeutic approach that best fit their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Dr. Cundiff commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, collaborative relationship where the person sets goals and explores solutions at their own pace, which can help with stress, relationship matters, and grief. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant and effective for that individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations, choose shorter or longer interactions, and shift formats as needs change, making it easier to maintain continuity in therapy while balancing everyday commitments.
